Hi!

A while ago i stopped my old sketchbook and now i think it's time to start a new one I bought a new moleskine and recently i've been drawing people on the train. I will try to upload as often as possible.

Wonderful sketches. I really like that most of your faces show believable expressions (that lady reading the book really looks concentrated and the girl with the speech bubble really looks totally sad. Very well captured!)

your work is pretty awesome (looking in your old sketchbook too) =D
i saw your entry in the creature of the week and i was wondering what tips you could give me on like getting that cleaner look you have to you work. Your work shows alot of understanding of lighting most things which makes your work like easy to see, and i was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

AG: thanks I might have called it train book, since i only draw there.
Lightmode108: Ill try to take a look in your sb soon, ill give you some pointers.
Lyno: Good to hear from you again lyno!
PaintMyBrain: Thanks! just keep drawing i guess
marcotronic: Thanks for that, its good to hear what you specifically like about my work, because i'm not always very aware of it myself.

update

Frank Gressie: thanks mate!

Here's a piece i worked longer on then my usual stuff, just to trying to push my color skills. Another goal was to put in alot of details to see. I used sketchup to make a start, as sort of an experiment. I think i won;t use it again because its alot faster to make a line drawing. For a next painting i will also not do black and white first because its a pain to add colors to a black and white painting. Its also not very usefull because a b&w painting misses all the contrasts you can get with color. anyway, i added a step by step so you guys can follow my big clumsy workflow for this painting. Im not super happy with the end result but it makes up for the fact i learned alot. I am very happy how the left below area turned out.

last piece is something i did for a friend, he;s making a game based of a frysian folklore called grutte pier.

Thanks for the awesome attention.

I'm currently following a workshop involving visual thinking to help companies visualize abstract processes and stuff. super awesome guys at the workshop. There was also a masterclass involving fun creature stuff and drawing a farm from different camera views.

Awesome portraits dude! I think I'd feel a bit stalker-ish drawing/watching people in such a close space, but you make it look so fun! I also really enjoy the lively way you sketch foliage, particularly the trees in that last image with the cows. Keep up the good work!

richart:glad you like it

dierat: Yeah, sometimes i feel like a stalker aswell, just try not to get caught and you'll be ok. most of the time i draw people from behind so theyll never see you.

BenjaminL: Moleskine is pretty good paper in a nice cover. The paper is good for rendering, mind that you should never press hard on the paper, then its absolutely worthless. Only use soft strokes and if you want to go dark just build up alot of soft strokes. you have to have patience I dont like moleskine paper super much btw.

Wow nice! I didn't get the e-mail about the update from your last thread, so I was still checking your old thread for updates hihi but now I found it! :-)
Really great sketches, nice points of view too, I'd say that you could work on your fluidity of lines, but you seem to do that already in the moleskine book.

update

Blueberry: thanks man!
NoŽ: hehe, funny, thats what the guys at the workshop also told me, that i should work on more fluidity in lines. Ill check your sb soon. see ya soon!

Here's a big ass update of some fun stuff, nothing serious just enjoying and relaxing. Also, this time i wanted to do something different. Im going to show some of my recent notes i take at the faculty. some crazy doodling going on there, i hope you enjoy. Im doing a minor called house of the future at the moment which is very cool
